Prints, Drawings & Books

Composition, materiality, handwork and drawing inform my printed and book works. Working directly through screens and on plates, images become parts of a whole; overlapped, warped, inverted, made nearly invisible. My printmaking practice reflects the ephemerality of a moment or a performance—the edition of images printed in this way is unrepeatable, existing as a souvenir of a series of strung-together moments of deliberate decision-making. ​

Dave DiMarchi is a multi-disciplinary printmaker and artist working in letterpress, papermaking, silkscreen and sculptural book forms. A recent dive into monoprinting has driven his work into a more spontaneous, less rigid direction.​He engages in a relentless material practice, nurturing ideas into singular and editioned works. As a multi-disciplinary artist, he has exhibited works on paper, installations and books in both the US and Europe. His work is in private and institutional collections both domestically and internationally. He maintains a small collaborative studio and art space in Eastern Pennsylvania working deeply with artists to master printmaking techniques and create new portfolio and exhibition-ready prints. He teaches printmaking, papermaking and book forms extensively throughout the New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania area. He is also the owner of 9INHANDPRESS, a nexus of design, print and publishing. 9INHANDPRESS hosts an annual International Print Exchange that engages printmakers worldwide in a collaborative portfolio and exhibitions.
